Nokia's Lumia 928 is again duking it out with Samsung's Galaxy S3.

In a YouTube-posted video of a jam session in a New York subway, Nokia touts the Lumia 928's ability to record high-quality audio. Pitted against the Galaxy S3, the 928 naturally comes out on top -- a given since it's Nokia's spot. In the video, the 928 is able to deliver better sound at a high volume with no distortion, a feat that its rival couldn't match.

A Chinese blog site named WPDang says that next week's event in London will focus on the Lumia 925, also known as "Catwalk," according to Windows Phone Central. The new phone is reportedly aimed at topping the Lumia 920 by offering a slimmer, all-aluminum body and and a thinner PureView camera. Still, the Lumia 925 itself may be nothing more than a variant of the 928.
